Hildy Beyeler, who joined her husband in building one of Switzerland's biggest art collections, has died in Basel, Switzerland, at age 86.
She married Ernst Beyeler in 1948 and became a constant companion in her husband's art business. They were both involved in founding Art Basel in the 1970s. The exposition has since become the largest international fair of contemporary art.
Dercy Goncalves, a Brazilian actress and comedian known for her vulgar wit and scandalous behavior, has died in Rio de Janiero at age 101. Goncalves was known for speaking her mind, often peppering her conversation with obscenities. In 1991, she shocked Brazil by parading topless on a Carnival float. She was 84.
Goncalves kept working late in life and made several TV appearances after turning 100.
